Vutet sabbath IN TOlcd0.-Sunday
January f6, 1887, goes on record as the
first Sunday in the history of Toledo on
which the saloons of the city were, withi-
out exceptions, closed When the order
Of the police board directing the enforce
ment Of the law was promulgated, the
saloon keepers, almost to a'man, expressed
a willingness tocomply with the law, and
their action yesterday in SO doing reflects
credit upon theth.
Perhaps never before in the history of
Toledo was there soquiet Sabbath. There
was no drunkenness, uoise or carcusng
upon tile streets. The records Mt llte
police station show that no arreIts were
made for drunkenness during the day.
This fact is go remarkable that ii is made
sufficiently emphatic by tie hrefo state
ment.
The police authorities report that thev
had no difficulty in enforcing the closing
law. Nearly all the saloons Of the city
closed promptly at IL o'clock Saturday
night, and renamed closed. In few
cases where there was disposition to
keep open, no trouble was experienced, for
the officers NJ ting under insirnclions from
the Chief OF Police, saw that the law was
obeyed. In no case was il fotnd necessary
TO make arrests.
On the Whole the frat attempt TO en-
force the Sunday law was entirely success.
ful and there is reason to believe that
there will be no organized opposition tc
the enforcement of the law in the future

Some may say il was not Rum, but
